Sylvia Jeffreys hits back at the Daily Mail

Just last month, Karl Stefanovic tore into Daily Mail live on the TODAY show over an article that accused him of flirting with a female colleague. Now, fellow host Sylvia Jeffreys has also taken matters into her own hands; slamming the publication over an article that describes her as “weary-looking”

Karl slams Daily Mail

Sylvia took to twitter to respond to a Daily Mail article with the headline “Struggling to ‘Wake up with Today?’ A weary-looking Sylvia Jeffreys clutches onto book by Australian sleep expert after borrowing it from the library”. In a clever tweet that berates the published article, Sylvia admitted that she borrowed the book to research for her work, writing: “Breaking news: Journalist does research, gathers information before publishing pointless, baseless report.”

Her followers were quick to offer their support for the journalist and 9Honey contributor, with many assuring her that she looked fabulous - and even praising her for her use of the local library! One social media user wrote “What I got from this is Sylvia supports libraries and that’s awesome”.

That’s our girl!

This isn’t the first time Sylvia has clapped back at the Daily Mail. In August 2015, they wrote an article about her “wardrobe malfunction” at a charity event. She shared the picture on Twitter, writing “anything for a good cause, I guess”.

She then defended herself on air, saying:

"I was running between many commitments yesterday and didn't have time obviously to change what was underneath every outfit.

"It wasn't visible to the naked eye, it was just under the photographers' flash that that was visible, so apologies for any offence caused but I won’t make the same mistake twice.
